How is the quality of Del Ton rifles? I'm thinking of buying a rifle kit to build on my stripped lower and wanted to know if Del Ton's quality was decent. This is my first AR build so I don't need a decked out Noveske upper for my first build. I do plan on upgrading the rifle as I go on.

Here's the kit I was considering:

Go to palmetto state armory and order from there, better quality parts and reliability.

I built a rifle with one of their carbine uppers about 3 years ago and I've had zero problems with it. I've got zero complaints about it.

I'm looking at the del-ton echo 316 with the magpul furniture. For $830 seems tough to pass up

That's where I bought my lower, but all of their rifle kits are sold out.

Go Palmetto instead

I'd say go Palmetto also, not that much more and just a better rep overall. The Del-ton is probably fine, but the Palmetto will hold value better. Plus I think they have a rifle for $699 right now and maybe one with aim Aimpoint for $999. Hard to beat.
